Reflections

On at Edinburgh's City Art Centre just now is an excellent exhibition of the work of John Henry Lorimer (who deserves to be much better known). Brother of the architect Robert Lorimer, his family restored the derelict Kellie Castle in Fife, a location which featured in many of his paintings including The Flight of the Swallows shown here.

If you can't see the show in person, there's a virtual tour on ArtUK.

Those pictures are charming. They look rather like book illustrations?

Thank you for the link for the Virtual tour. I have visited Kellie Castle may times over the years. I am self isolating with covid at the moment and had such a wonderful virtual tour this afternoon . Many thanks.

I hadn't thought of that (because of seeing them in the flesh as large scale oils, I suppose) but you're right.

You're welcome, Anne. I hope your symptoms are mild and you're back to full health soon.
